We performed a comparison between IBM DataPower Gateway and Oracle SOA Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's high-speed and it can be remotely administered via an API."
"The MPGW (Multi-Protocol Gateway) is great because it allows you to easily expose services using various protocols – web services, REST (JSON), and others. This flexibility simplifies things."
"The most valuable feature is the security appliance, it's very secure."
"The solution is robust."
"It can look for the various security threats, productions, payload scanning, and perform routing based on the content type."
"The performance is good. It's been very stable."
"The API Connect gateway service and the SQL injection feature is good."
"It is very easy to set up and configure, even for users with no prior experience."
"The integration with various products."
"The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"It performs better in real-time transactions."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it."
"Provides connectivity between discrete systems and has availability."
"Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."
"The user interface or the application development perspective and customization of the tool could be a little better."
"It is a costly product."
"Some pre-packaged connectors for integration with various applications, such as SaaS offerings, would be a useful addition."
"For the workloads that are not too high, appliance is a little bit expensive."
"The programming language is only supported in XSLT and Gateway script."
"The components that they include in the product that are, in fact, a WTX, really need to be removed from the product because they tend to fail."
"They should improve the solution's clustering features."
"Making it more user-friendly would be an improvement."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login."
"The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."
"SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service."
